What do Western analysts say about the offensive of the Armed Forces in the Kursk region
Military analysts of the Bild edition, Julian Repke and Philip Pyatov, do not expect that the offensive operation of the Ukrainian military in the Kursk region will be able to change the course of the criminal war against Ukraine unleashed by the Kremlin.
Analysts emphasize that the available footage shows heavy fighting in the area of the city of Suja with the use of aircraft and armored vehicles.
It is also noted that the Ukrainian military managed to capture about 40 soldiers of the criminal army of the Russian Federation during the fighting.
At the same time, the Armed Forces lost only three German Marder BMPs during the offensive.
The advance into Russian territory is not a turning point in the war. Recently, the Ukrainians have had serious problems with the defense of the front line. In several areas, the advanced Russians achieved slow but steady success. Experts called the arrival of Western F-16 fighter jets in Ukraine "late", analysts emphasize.
Ryopke notes that the Ukrainian military has already managed to enter the outskirts of the city of Suja.
The Ukrainian army is now at least 2 km northwest of the city of Suja in the Kursk region, this is visually confirmed, - Röpke notes.
It is reported that Ukrainian troops are moving from the state border along highway 38K-004. The small villages of Gogolivka and Rubanshchyna were taken there.
